Sink Or Swim
The cubs found themselves completely alone, flailing about in the frigid water, desperately crying for their departing mother. Can you imagine being so young and weak, in such a terrifying situation, all while watching your own mother leaving you behind? But nature is nature. A baby needs plenty of care and protection, and these little ones had been stranded in the worst kind of danger. With little hope for survival, it seemed the cubs would find a watery grave, all alone.
Just Keep Swimming
When it seemed like all hope was lost, a boat suddenly appeared in the water. Surprisingly, the terrified cubs did not need much help getting the humans’ attention, as they were well aware of the situation. Amazingly, the cubs had found some instinctual ability to swim, and after having spotted the fishermen, desperately pushed their little limbs as hard as they could to make their way to the approaching boat.
